Emergence of bimodal motility in active droplets
Babak Vajdi Hokmabad, Ranabir Dey, Maziyar Jalaal +5
To explore and react to their environment, living micro-swimmers have developed sophisticated strategies for locomotion - in particular, motility with multiple gaits. To understand…
A fine balance of chemotactic and hydrodynamic torques: when microswimmers orbit a pillar just once
Chenyu Jin, Jérémy Vachier, Soumya Bandyopadhyay +2
We study the detention statistics of self-propelling droplet microswimmers attaching to microfluidic pillars. These droplets show negative autochemotaxis: they shed a persistent re…
Topological Stabilization and Dynamics of Self-propelling Nematic Shells
Babak Vajdi Hokmabad, Kyle A. Baldwin, Carsten Krüger +2
Liquid shells (e.g. double emulsions, vesicles etc.) are susceptible to interfacial instability and rupturing when driven out of mechanical equilibrium. This poses a significant ch…
Experimental investigation of the freely cooling granular gas
C. C. Maaß, N. Isert, G. Maret +1
Using diamagnetically levitated particles we investigate the dynamics of the freely cooling granular gas. At early times we find good agreement with Haff's law, where the time scal…
